Land Sales 4th quarter

Who says the real estate market is suffering. I guess it depends on to whom you are talking. Personally, I have had a good 4th quarter in land sales. Oh, I guess I should tell you first that I am a licensed real estate broker and I list and sell large acreage tracts in the counties that surround Richmond, Virginia. I go out about 50 miles from Richmond in 16 counties or so.I have been doing this for about 27 years.But this is my first blog and maybe one of these days I will be as good a blogger as Jim Duncan , a realtor in Charlottesville, Virginia. You can reach Jim's blog at www.realcentralva.com.
I have listed 4 tracts this fall and have sold 3. Two of them have closed and the third is set to close soon. That doesn't sound like a lot but land does not turn over as often as houses do. One was a 118 acre tract in Chesterfield County that sold for $1,000,000.00 (no utilities near by), a 69 acre tract in King William County that sold for $126,000. The third is a tract in Amelia County listed for $395,000.00 and is under contract. I should be adding some more listings soon. Please check my web site from time to time (www.jettlandandrealty.com ) to see what's for sale.
My goal is to write about my experiences in my profession, particularly about my specific area of real estate.
Talk to you soon.
